Lovely waterfalls with easy access from the parking lot. It wasn't busy the day we visited, which made for a nice, quiet visit.Full review by VaAlleyCat

I will be staying at Reykjavik but I am hoping to visit this area (Akureyki) too. Should I do a day trip? Is this a nice place to visit? Is this place included in the golden circle bus trip?

Depending on when you go in March, it could be slippery or not. The path from the parking area is not paved but not really a problem. If you want to get near the edges of the cliffs or the falls themselves, you should have sturdy, waterproof shoes. I found the path towards Gulfoss far more slippery.
Q:
Catch a cab from cruise terminal to godafoss
A:
It would cost a serious amount of money - best option is to join an organised trip or hire a car for the day
Q:
Catch a cab from cruise terminal to godafoss
A:
If you will take a cab it will cost you 200-250€ it only 41 minutes to get there
Q:
How far of a drive is the falls from Akureyri? We are only there for 8 hours on cruise ship.
A:
From the port it will be about a 41 minute drive one way. That's what google maps shows. Well worth the drive. Have a great time.
